I must confess being utterly smitten and taken by Elizabeth Bennet (as played by Jennifer Ehle in the BBC Pride and Prejudice).

"Our hope is in him who makes all things new. He judges our structures of thought and action and renders them obsolete. If our false security in the old and our fear of revolutionary change tempt us to defend the status quo or to patch it up with half-hearted measures, we may all perish. The death of the old may cause pain to some, but failure to bring up a new world community may bring death to all." (4th Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Uppsala, Sweden, 1968)
